Training group: home-based telemonitored Nordic walking (NW). The control group received usual care and were not provided with a formal exercise training prescription and did not perform supervised rehabilitation. All patients received recommendations for suitable lifestyle changes and self-management according to the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines. , Patients underwent an eight-week home-based telerehabilitation program and trained five times a week. , Functional capacity assessed by VO 2peak . Workload duration (t) in cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET), six-minute walking test (6-MWT) distance and quality of life (QoL) Medical Outcome Survey Short Form 36 (SF-36); safety; adherence to and acceptance of NW. , There was a significant improvement in functional capacity assessed by VO 2 peak only in the TG (16.1 ± 4.0 vs. 18.4 ± 4.1 (mL/kg/min), p = 0.0001), t (471 ± 141 vs. 577 ± 158 (s), p = 0.0001), 6-MWT (428 ± 93 vs. 480 ± 87 (m), p = 0.0001) and QoL (79.0 ± 31.3 vs. 70.8 ± 30.3 (score), p = 0.0001). In the CG, favorable effects were not observed. The differences between the TG and CG were significant in ∆ VO 2 peak, ∆t, and in ∆6 MWT. All participants in the TG completed rehabilitation and accepted it well..
